Game 146 - Phils Lose, Braves Clinch Pennant

2022 Topps Now #1010
Braves 4
, Phillies 1
Game 146 - Wednesday Night, September 13th in Philadelphia
Record - 79-67, 2nd Place, 17 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies fell quietly to the Braves, and the Braves clinched the National League East pennant, enjoying a postgame celebration at Citizens Bank Park.

What It Means:  We turned off the game before seeing any of the postgame celebration.  I didn't need to see that.

What Happened:   Spencer Strider quieted the Phillies line-up, allowing four hits and a run over his seven innings of work, while striking out nine.  Cristopher Sanchez pitched well for the Phillies too, striking out 10, but allowing four runs in 7 1/3 innings.  The Phillies had four singles, and never posed any real threat in this game.

Featured Card:  Let's flash back to happier times, when the Phillies clinched a Wild Card berth last year in Houston.  Here's the Topps Now card celebrating that wonderful day.
